(c)    In addition to and without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, and without limiting any separate agreement entered into by an Indemnitee with the Managing Member, the Company or its Subsidiaries (including any employment agreement), a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries are neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or is of no practical advantage to the Company and its Subsidiaries, (iii) is one in which

(b)    Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in (i) defending or (ii) appearing as a witness in (when such Indemnitee is not named as a defendant or respondent) any Action, subject to this Section 4.3 shall be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such Action upon receipt by the Company of a written commitment by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 4.3.

(c)    The right to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Agreement shall not be exclusive of, and shall not affect, any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, as determined by the Managing Member, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators of the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

(d)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall purchase and maintain insurance (or be a named insured on the insurance policy of any Affiliate), to the extent and in such amounts as the Managing Member shall deem reasonable, on behalf of any of the Indemnitees and

 

- 8 -


such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any Liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Company’s activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such Liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

(e)    An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 4.3 solely because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement and such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 4.3(a).

(f)    The provisions of this Section 4.3 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 4.3 or any provision of this Agreement shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Company’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 4.3 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Managing Member reasonably determines in good faith that both of the Partnerships are reasonably capable of doing so, each Partnership shall each be responsible for their respective Allocation Percentage of any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim for which the Partnerships both have liability to an Indemnitee under Section 6.6 of the Blue Owl LPAs. Any indemnification obligations of the Company arising under this Article IV shall be satisfied only to the extent of assets of the Company, and no Member or Affiliate of any Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

4.5    Effect on Other Agreements and Members Obligations.

8.3    Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction. The law of the State of Delaware shall govern (a) all Proceedings, claims or matters related to or arising from this Agreement (including any tort or non-contractual claims) and (b) any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement, and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, in each case without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH PARTY’S LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES SUCH PARTY’S JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

Nothing in this Section 8.3, however, shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity. Each party to this Agreement agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law or at equity.

8.4    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

8.5    Notices. Any notice, consent, payment, demand, or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when personally delivered (or, if delivery is refused, upon presentment) or received by email (with confirmation of transmission) prior to 5:00 p.m. eastern time on a Business Day and, if otherwise, on the next business day, (b) one business day following sending by reputable overnight express courier (charges prepaid) or (c) three days following mailing by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested, in each case to the addresses or telecopy numbers as have been supplied in writing to the Company.

8.6    Complete Agreement; Construction. This Agreement, the Blue Owl LPAs and the Exchange Agreement (as applicable) constitute the entire agreement between the parties to this Agreement pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement, and fully supersede all other agreements concerning the subject matter hereof previously entered into among any of the parties, including the Original Agreement.
